I had a good opportunity of meeting my beloved principal Ms Hemalatha pradhan after a long gap of seven years.After leaving my school i never got an opportunity to meet her.I also had a feeling og meeting her only if i had achieved something worthwhile in my life.A senior of mine convinced that it would be nice to visit our teacher and thank them for what they had given to us.I went to her home with an expectation that she would forgive me for not visiting so long....
She was the person who influenced me a lot into reading books,participating in extra curricular activities and gave me a childhood which was fun and frolic.
It was an emotional trip both for meand my senior soumya.My princpal was so happy on seeing us both that we had very lengthy conversations on our schooling days and how her discipline and teaching helped us to achieve what we are right now.She took the opportunity and suggested that we can have a get together of sorts-bringing all my friends,seniors and juniors for a day and share their wonderful experiences they had with the school.I am planning to pen a book about my wonderful time at Tiny tots and ask my friends to do the same in the future very soon.This would be my guru dakshina to my school and my Headmistress.

Remembering my Guru's
September the 5th in India is celebrated as teachers day.A day in remembrance of the teachers who shape our life and play an important role in moulding a student in to a model citizen.Some times teachers are our friends,our guides or our mentors who help us to get on with our studies with their support.There are many such people in my childhood i remember very well.People who have trained me to speak various languages,who nurtured my mind so that I would always think positively and take the right decisions.
My special thanks goes to my headmistress Hemalatha Pradhan,who made us to realise the importance of the English language and use it as a tool to build relations across various spectrum's of the society.Teachers who have dedicated their lives in spreading the knowledge they posses and bringing up the cognizants of tomoro in today's children should never be forgotten.
Gone are the days
When the school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches.
Gone are the days
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
Gone are the days
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
And returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.
Gone are the days
When a single P.T. and games period in the week's Time Table, Was awaited more
eagerly than the monsoons.
Gone are the days
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day,
And the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
And the most enjoyed holidays after them.
Gone are the days
We learnt, we enjoyed, we played, we won, we lost, We laughed, we cried,
we fought, we thought.
Gone are the days
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience

The best of the chorus group
During our schooling,we were trained to sing chorus songs in many languages like english,hindi,bengali,assamese and telugu.This is one of those songs which i would like to share with the blogging community,since it happens to be one of my favourites :)
Song one:
Thank you for giving me this morning
Thank you for everyday thats new
Thank you that i can know my worries,can be cost on you!
Thank you for all my friends and brothers,Thankyou for all the men that live
Thankyou for even greatest enemies so i can forgive!
Thank you god your love is boundless,Thankyou that i am full of you
Thankyou for music,light and gladness
Thankfull as i do.....

There was another song which was adapted as our school song,since it exactly fits into our school moto!
Song two (School song)
Also famously known as the VITAI LAMPADA ("They Pass On The Torch of Life"),through out canada and Great britain,this song was written by Sir Henry Newbolt during the late eighteen hundreds.
There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night --
Ten to make and the match to win --
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'
This is the word that year by year,
While in her place the School is set,
Every one of her sons must hear,
And none that hears it dare forget.
This they all with a joyful mind
Bear through life like a torch in flame,
And falling fling to the host behind --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!'

Annual schoolday celebrations
The annual school day of my school provided a platform for us all to show of our talent in dance,music,and drama.
Practise sessions started two weeks before, which gave us enough time to get familiarized with what we are about to do.Naturally as time passed by the surrounding enui of our daily class schedule was lost!.It was fun and frolic!
Just before a week or two of the actual school day,students were asked to give out their names who would love to partiticipate in the "cultural fest" as i can call it
.I was a part of the chorus group from my second grade onwards,we used to sing patriotic songs in various languages everyday.I still remember most of the songs by heart coz our school's management ensured that students participated in more numbers in these activities.
What i do remember is most of our school day celebrations took place at the REC(regional engineering college) auditorium now National Institute of technology,it was a festive atmosphere on D-day!
For all the hardwork we made to ensure that everything was sucessfull we were awarded holidays which was something like an icing on the cake!

My memorable schooling days
School is the first place i would always cherish to remember!Not only has it provided the ways and means in which i can start learning but also provide an interactive and friendly environment with my teachers and faculty.Ifeel lucky to be an alumini of TTHS(tiny tots high school).
My headmistress premalatha pradhan had a major role to play in shaping my knowledge in terms of communication skills and extra curicular activities.Giving equal importance to them along with studies helped me to cope with the ever changing world of ours.I would like to entirely show my gratitude towards her for providing a solid foundation to my career and studies.
It was a very different time in my schooling days when compared to the others!The faculty we had were more like family members rather than a just a teaching authority,and this kind of an environment was made by my headmistress.What happened as a result was that we were always happy to go out to school and merrily enjoy it as much as we could!

My school logo has an inner meaning,That a child should always be smiling and happy when he comes to this temple of knowledge.The moto of my school also has a resounding message to its student "play up play up and play the game!" which meant that life is a game and we must always learn to take it as a sport and play it well!
more memories of my school to come very soon....
